I found this to be an interesting question that hasn't been brought up that I know of. By all accounts Pennsylvania is usually a blue state which usually means an easy win for the Democratic party. Ed Rendell alluded to the fact that Obama would have difficulty winning Pennsylvania because of a strongly white conservative base that still is not ready for a black president. As far as I know, Donovan Mcnabb has not come out and thrown his support behind any candidate. I would like to assume he supports Obama for multiple reasons. First of all Mcnabb's hometown is Chicago, IL, which is the base of Obama's candidacy since he is Senator of Illinois. Second of all I've always pegged Mcnabb as a democrat, just based on his past views, and the fact that he is college educated. And of course the fact that they are black has to weigh heavily, regardless of whether or not we think that is important. I really would love to hear from Mcnabb on this subject, no matter who he supports, just to hear an athlete of his stature take a stance either way would be monumental and would give me an even greater respect for him as a man. I hold out minimal hope of this as I know the old saying of Mr. Michael Jordan: Republicans buy shoes too. Yes they do Mike, but having an opinion is our right, and anyone who is willing to exercise that right deserves all of our respect, no matter which side is chosen. So Mr. Mcnabb, and all athletes for that matter, Who will it be? Mccain, Clinton, or Obama?
